The front ones do signal.

If you mean have them turn on constantly and still blink... then i think you have to buy double filament bulbs. Thats what i did to my civic when i turned the back lights on and still had them blink. Its been a while tho.

Yep, back in the day where "ambers" were the ____ until the cops caught on.


But you can also wire up a relay to make it stay on. and once it blinks it interupts the connection.

ya a relay is probably the best. Basically shorts the relay when you signal.
